Vision

The central laboratory at the Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura Universityis to be pioneer in the analysis and calibration, measurement and internationally accredited.

Mission

As part of the mission of the College, the central laboratory shouldprovide a safe environment for conducting research and analysis, offer training courses, produce and apply knowledge, strengthen the capacity building of researchers and staff members of the college and other institutions, and offer research, analytical, and consultation services to the community with the observance of good management of resources and quality of performance.

Objectives

• To perform measurements, diagnostic, and laboratory tests for faculty members, graduate students,other researchinstitutions, and individuals.
• To offer training courses for undergraduate and graduate studentsand researchers outside the university.
• To provide research and advisory services to institutions,production corps, and individuals in order to serve the community and develop the society.
• To introduce modern technologies in the analysissystemsand upgrading equipment to keep up with the advances in agricultural sciences.

To achieve these goals, the following should be considered:
